Smart Metering Trial

Thanks for the post P 

Regarding costs I re-read the details and the reductions are based on pitch plus one person. So it would be interesting to hear what the average two person usage might entail or presumably two can live as cheaply as one? 

Looks like there is an additional reduction for more people, initially at least. The cost per night for one drops by the £3 reduction (mentioned for May) between 16th and 17th. Whilst for two adults the reduction is £4.40, three £5.80 four £7.20. Unfortunately beyond the start of the trial there is no actual proof, as since DP started we don’t have a price list.

This is most likely a response to the increasing use of electric vehicles

The more i think about it the more it seems like a good idea,  it will make people  more environmentally aware of their usage of electricity ,and make those who think it is an  environmentally friendly idea to heat an non insulated awning ,maybe it is not that good an idea

I agree totally with Twos more than one's comment.  I once had a conversation with a gentleman on site who informed me that they left an electric heater on in the awning permanently, go figure the logic to that one, I failed.

Just so long as this is implemented as fairly as possible only has to be for the good.

At long last I have received a reply to my request for the price of metered electricity and this was the reply:-

Good Morning David,

Thank you for taking the time to contact the Club to share your suggestion. I have passed this to the appropriate staff, as well as other areas of the Club as part of our ongoing improvement. Due to the volume of feedback received, we are unable to offer a response.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,

It seems a very strange reply given that all I asked for was a simple piece of information? Interestingly the reply came from a no-reply mailbox so make of that what you will!

David

Nothing to say really David, except

"CAMC customer service marks out of 10,  ZERO"

and obviously they dont think you need to know

I am not one of those who thinks that the club hierarchy should get involved in the discussions area of CT; they'd be on a hiding to nothing and it is no surprise to me at all that, aside from the occasional post from Rowena, they do not get involved; it is more of a surprise to me that people think that the powers that be should engage in threads in this place.

However, if someone raises a specific and perfectly reasonable request through direct contact with the club, I would expect a clear and unambiguous reply. It looks to me that this is a stock, precomposed response and I find it incredibly frustrating that so many organisations, these days, think they can get away with such dismissive responses. Whether you see this as merely "strange", or rather more at the level of outrageous, it is clear that it singularly fails to address the point at issue and to use "volume of feedback" as a reason for not answering a simple question is actually, when you stop to think about it, laughable.

CAMC is not a shareholder paying conglomerate it's a membership based not for profit company and should answer to it's membership. The response is very disappointing David but thank you for asking the question on our behalf!
